Armenia and Turkey are ready to establish bilateral relations. The
news agency ARKA reports that the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
Mathew Bryza told this in an interview with the Radio Liberty. He
said they are making efforts to improve the relation between Armenia
and Turkey. According to him, both Armenia and Turkey are ready for
it. Bryza also said that the normalization of Turkish and Armenian
relations is facilitated by the settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

With regard to the settlement, Mathew Bryza, who is also the new
American Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, said that the co-chairs
decided to take a pause throughout the summer. "The co-chairs talked
today about taking a bit of a pause throughout the summer to find out
whether or not the presidents do in fact have that sort of political
will," said Bryza.
